In this thesis,we consider the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equations.First,we investigate the existence of positive solutions of the following semi-linear elliptic equations△u+f(x,u)+g(|x|)x·▽u=0,x∈ΩA and△u+f(x,u,▽u)=0,x∈ΩA, whereΩA={x∈Rn,|xl>A,n≥3).Second,we consider the followng equation div(|▽u|p2▽u)+f(x,u)+g(|x|)x·▽u=0,x∈ΩA. We present a sufficient condition of the existence of nonnegative solutions for 2>p>1,n≥p and n>p>2 respectively.Third,the existence of positive weak solutions is considered to the equation△u+g(|x|)x·▽u+a(x)uq-1=0, x∈Ω, u=0, x∈(?)Ω whereΩ(?)Rn\{0}is a bounded domain.Finally, a sufficient condition is given to guarantee the uniqueness of positive radial solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation△u+f(|x|,u)+g(|x|)x·▽u=0,x∈Ω, u=0, x∈(?)ΩwhereΩ={x∈Rn(n≥3),a<|x|<b). |
